Unit price perEstimated delivery between 28 August and 30 August.
The Aglaonema Queen Red Vein is a striking tropical perennial prized for its bold foliage adorned with vivid red veins and marbled green-silver patterns. Native to the shaded understories of Southeast Asian forests, this cultivar of the Araceae family combines elegance with hardiness, making it a standout among Chinese Evergreens. Its compact, bushy growth habit and glossy leaves add a dramatic touch to indoor spaces, thriving in low-light conditions while demanding minimal care.
This slow-growing plant typically reaches 1.5-2 feet tall indoors, making it ideal for tabletops, desks, or as part of a lush plant grouping. While rare, mature plants may produce subtle white or green spathe-like flowers, though their foliage remains the main attraction. Compared to other Aglaonema varieties like Silver Bay or Red Siam, the Queen Red Vein distinguishes itself with its fiery veining and contrasting leaf textures.

Aglaonema Queen Red Vein Care Guide
Light and Water
- Light: Prefers low to bright indirect light. Avoid direct sun, which can fade red pigmentation or scorch leaves.
- Water: Water every 1-2 weeks when the top 2 inches of soil dry out. Reduce frequency in winter.
Soil and Fertilizing
- Soil: Use a well-draining mix of peat, perlite, and coco coir to prevent root rot.
- Fertilizer: Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer (20-20-20) monthly during spring and summer.
Temperature and Humidity
- Temperature: Ideal range: 65-80°F (18-27°C). Protect from cold drafts below 60°F (15°C).
- Humidity: Prefers 50-60% humidity but tolerates average indoor levels. Occasional misting or a pebble tray enhances leaf health.
Pruning, Propagating, and Repotting
- Pruning: Trim yellow or damaged leaves at the base. Wipe leaves gently to maintain shine.
- Propagating: Divide root clumps during repotting or take stem cuttings with at least two nodes.
- Repotting: Repot every 2-3 years in spring. Use a pot 1-2 inches larger to avoid water retention.
Common Problems
- Leaf yellowing: Overwatering or poor drainage. Ensure pots have drainage holes.
- Brown leaf edges: Low humidity or fluoride in tap water. Use filtered water and increase ambient moisture.
- Spider mites or scale: Treat with neem oil or insecticidal soap; isolate affected plants.
- Faded red veins: Insufficient indirect light. Move to a brighter spot (avoid direct sun).
Aglaonema Queen Red Vein: Best Locations & Uses
- Low-light interiors: Brightens dim corners in living rooms, hallways, or bedrooms.
- Office desks: Thrives under fluorescent lighting with minimal upkeep.
- Accent plant: Highlights red accents in monochromatic or tropical-themed decor.
- Pet-free spaces: Toxic to cats and dogs if ingested; keep out of reach.
- Mixed plant displays: Complement darker foliage plants like ZZ or snake plants.
